PCP is a gaming podcast in which Jordan, a gaming writer for Pixelated Geek, and his friends (Cody, Shane, and Sergio) discuss the week in gaming news! Or at least try to.

This week the guys talk about Deus Ex: Mankind Divided first being leaked and then fully revealed in the same day; The Witcher 3 being 200+ hours long and still has two expansions that’ll add 30 more hours; Call of Duty: Black Ops 3; and much more! Especially GTAV finally coming to PC! But, come on, Sergio’s face…man. His face! Read On

“When a mysterious and powerful vortex suddenly appears in various LEGO worlds, different characters from DC Comics, The Lord of the Rings and The LEGO Movie are swept away. To save their friends, Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle bravely jump into the vortex and quickly find themselves fighting to save all of LEGO humanity.”

For the first time ever LEGO worlds have collided and there are no rules!

When it comes to action-platformers with gated progression (a.k.a. metroidvania) style games, 2015 has been good to us. PS4 owners got their hands on Apotheon earlier this year, then came Ori and the Blind Forest on Xbox One and PC, and now PS4 owners also get Axiom Verge.

Created and developed by Thomas Haap, a one-man development team, Axiom Verge takes elements from classic action platformers such as Contra, Bionic Command, and Metroid to create a game that looks and feels as though the three gave birth to a weird hybrid. The game visually takes multiple queues from the Metroid series, from its dark and lonely atmosphere, to its haunting and, at times, jarring soundtrack. It has the shooting mechanics and various weapons that reminded me of Contra. And it literally gives you a bio-organic arm to use to swing around with, (cough) Bionic Commando (cough). Though I’m sure the gun isn’t made from anyone’s loved one.

Happy International Tabletop Day everyone! Or happy belated International Tabletop Day that is.

On April first, Nintendo Announced through their Nintendo Direct that two new characters would be coming to Super Smash Bros. for 3DS and Wii U: Mewtwo, of whom we were already aware of and expecting, and the surprise announcement that Lucas would finally be joining the fight this summer as well! Nintendo has been increasingly listening to its fans, and after the Direct the company put up a ballot submission on their Smash Bros. microsite, so you could submit your own character ideas, with the idea that the top voted character would join Super Smash Bros.

Today, Thursday the 26th of March, 2015 at 9:00am, Obsidian Games releases what is sure to be one of the finest pieces of nostalgia fodder in recent history – Pillars of Eternity.

Pillars of Eternity is a crowd-funded party-based, story-driven pause-and-play RPG intended to harken back to the glory days of … party-based, story-driven, pause-and-play RPGs. I’m sure that the vast majority of you are familiar with Obsidian’s more recent – and problematic offerings – like Fallout: New Vegas and the almost-totally-unfortunate Alpha Protocol, but any gamer who studies their temples astutely in the mirror every morning looking for a touch of grey remembers the real glory days of the developer – brilliant narrative, engaging characters, amazing advances and all-in-all, the closest thing to a fully-realized tabletop gaming experience.

Hopefully the glory days will see a resurgence with today’s release of Pillars of Eternity.
